Why would you like to be elected to the role(s) you are standing for?
I’m seeking your support to be re-elected to the Elections and Campaigns Group.
Building on our record result in the Holyrood election, we have a fantastic opportunity to elect a record number of Green councillors. I’m keen to use the experience and skills from having help organise the last two local elections, both at branch and sub-branch level, to help us do that! If elected, I’d like to:
- Help organise a campaign that elects a record number of councillors in Edinburgh and West Lothian
- Support sub-branches to build door-knocking, material delivery, and campaigning experience
- Be an effective team member as part of the Elections and Campaigns Group
What skills, knowledge and life experience would you bring to the role(s) you are standing for?
I have extensive election campaign organising experience, and have played a key role in organising campaigns locally and nationally in every election since I joined the party in 2014. I’ve been Co-Convenor of the national Elections and Campaigns Committee, and served as branch Co-Convenor between 2021 and 2023. I’ve previously been on the Elections and Campaigns Group for the past two years.
In my day job I’m a Policy and Public Affairs Manager for a national charity, and live in Gorgie.
It would be an honour to return to the Elections and Campaigns Group, to help deliver our most successful local election campaign!
